Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A long time ago.  Can't remember exactly when it started.

Just don't expect a trend or anything.  They'd rather stab you in the eye than help you out twice in a row.

I've collected some real-world floorplans for crypts and tombs.

But all of them are larger than the pathetically small limit we have for jpg uploads.

When this issue is resolved I will post them.
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me.

You can talk all you want about theory, craft, or whatever. But in the end, it's still just new ways of looking at people playing make-believe and having a good time with their friends. Intellectualize or analyze all you want, but we've been playing the same game since we were 2 years old. We just have shinier books, spend more money, and use bigger words now.

The worst part about real world tombs is that they're always smaller than you'd like for a game.

That being said, it'd be fan-frickin'-tastic to take the maps Nicephorus linked to and scale them for giants.

Unfortunately I couldn't download those maps. They were stuck in a flash/macromedia/I don't friggin' know interface so you could scroll around and view them.

I did manage to print them out, though, and ran one of my worst dungeons with them as a map. I stitched the three major crypts together into a massive dungeon, filled it with mummies, and sent the players in. After three sessions and 30 or more encounters with mummies I took pity on them and cut out half the dungeon so they could get to the end.

SOOOooo, those maps ARE available, though I didn't save the links. But my advice is not to stitch them together. :p

Sounds like my kind of dungeon-crawl. :D
